    Hi dr-haidar I have had the same thing it was more of a clicking, but very inflamed from me prodding. I had an ultrasound and then an MRI it was nothing they said it was asymmetrical muscle. But it wasn't AS related. Also there is a page on Facebook if you go on there - Ankylosis sponditis support group UK it's really helpful.

    Hi, having had AS for over 50 years and total neck fusion for over 20 have not come across this being in stooped posture does present problems swallowing and if l take any drugs they need to be soluble. However a few times have felt restrictive pain from larynx particularly when rising from bed, out of all the problems associated with AS find no neck movement the most debilitating, good luck
